Excellent camp site, even without drinking water. The camp host, Matthew, was extremely helpful and attentive, and takes good care of the site.

Small very peaceful campground. Large sites, some right next to the river. Beautiful area. We saw a lot of wildlife on the river including otters. On our cross state Oregon camping trip this was our favorite campground. Host was excellent.

My son and I have developed a yearly tradition to visit Allen Springs and the Fish Hatchery. A beautiful and peaceful campground. Well-maintained.

Paradise. But be sure to bring your own water.

One of our favorite spots on the Metolius. Tons of room and beautiful views. One of the things that made our experience extra special this year was having a great camp host, Matthew Allred. He was very friendly, attentive but not at all overbearing, he kept the bathrooms super clean, and was safety minded. This was a welcome change after previous years of no dedicated camp host support. We can’t wait to go back!

We love this campground. River views & a close walk to the Wizard Falls fish hatchery. Metolius River Trial from here can take you on a loop to Lower Bridge and along the opposite side of the river to Wizard Falls, cross back & return to Allen Springs. We also have enjoyed hiking from Wizard Falls to Sugar Springs (west side of the river) or from Wizard Falls to Gorge campground (east side of the river). No running water provided at this campground but we don’t find this to be s problem.
